PRWEB) December 20, 2010 -- There are many bus tours from Sydney to popular destinations like the Blue Mountains, famous for its majestic views, Hunter Valley for wine tasting, Canberra for sightseeing or the South Coast for Whale and Dolphin watching cruises. There are also numerous ways of seeing Sydneys city sights, including the Eastern Beaches and Northern Beaches. Some tour businesses have even tried combining a wide range of uniquely Australian experiences into an all encompassing multi-day package. While cuddling a koala, taking photos of the Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge or visiting natural icons such as The Three Sisters at Katoomba and Uluru (Ayers Rock) are uniquely Australian endeavours, many tourists never get father than lounging at a Hotel on Bondi Beach, buying souvenir Kangaroos or listening to an aborigine play the Didgeridoo in Circular Quay. What opportunities are available to provide these vacationers with a greater understanding of the true Australian lifestyle?
Understand Down Under (UDU) now offers these "day tourists" bushwalks and nature escapes that include commentary on every aspect of the surrounding environment. These tours cover the way the local aborigines lived, to the plants they used, to the development of Gondwana and the origins of its amazing animals, and even touches on the geology which forms the ancient foundations of each eco-system. They offer a real journey of discovery where information is delivered in an accurate, holistic manner. The UDU guides job is to answer the hard questions and to correct misconceptions. All the while, UDU remembers that the tourists are on holiday after all! Theres nothing wrong with an excess of photography, laughing like a lunatic at a strange looking marsupial or turning up your nose to Vegemite.
So how are all of these elements combined to form a single day that delivers a true understanding of Australia, in a thoroughly relaxing manner? With memories so enjoyable that the photos go straight from the iPhone to Facebook?
For a one day tour that is a big task. Australia is a big country after all, and diverse too. Sydney doesnt represent New South Wales, and NSW is vastly different to Tasmania, the Northern Territory or the Great Barrier Reef. However, UDUs one day tour can highlight the themes that make all these areas unique, pointing out similarities such as the many Eucalypts or sandstone rocks, as well as the variations. For example, the Aborigines in the Sydney area didnt play didgeridoos. Many tourists crave a richer adventure and deeper understanding of the places they visit and UDU tours satisfy that craving.
In these days of Blackberry's, Google, YouTube and Twitter, people are more eager to share their experiences in real time. Travellers can now make decisions based on the advice and written accounts of friends and strangers. However, that also means you have to be lucky enough to have a friend that has discovered a hidden secret.
Visiting the Royal National Park on an UDU day tour is eco-tourism at its best. More than just recreation, with UDU the experience is more like being a celebrity in hiding. Away from the tourist crowds, UDU excursions explore the wilderness, secluded beaches as seen in movies, the rainforests that provide a feeling of health and well-being and the food and drinks that are new to most pallettes. An UDU tour is truly special. Money cant buy love, but a little of it can be traded for a once in a lifetime experience. Tourists from America, Europe, Asia and elsewhere in the world visiting Sydney are in luck. Australia's rich history, culture and land and legacy are waiting.
